In fact corruption has to do with matters of morality, rudeness and circumstances, positions in
government agencies or apparatuses, abuses of power in office for granting, economic and political
factors, and the placement of families or classes into official service under the authority his position.
Institutions also have a strong impact and impact on the development process [3],[4], as well as
affecting economic growth [5],[6]. Various institutions such as law, media, corruption control and
effective government are the prerequisites for developing the economy [7],[8]. So the weakness of the
law and inconsistent in committing to lead to poor institutions and corruption [9]. Yet an active society
can seek to protest the abuse of corrupt power [10]. To reduce the level of corruption, the government
has made a lot of effort by developing regulations such as government institutions. As in Indonesia
there are institutions of Corruption Eradication Commission “Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK)”
[11].
The government is considered one of the most effective tools to combat acts of corruption
[12],[13]. For example with the emergence of anti-corruption agencies [14]. However, in some
developing countries played by the power of corruption that distorts the processing of information on

the ability of the administrative system [15]. Another consequence of corruption is the occurrence of
crises caused by poor institutional quality, [16], thus risks to a bad investor level [17].

counter it is now a top priority in policies around the world [18]. One of the efforts to prevent
corruption is by inculcating the young generation through education that has the character of anti-

above, the field of education is also very influential in the field of prevention of corruption, namely by
providing anti-corruption education materials to young people to build anti-corruption culture.
